Troubleshooting

USB 3.0 compatibility

The freenect_stack ROS driver supports USB 3.0, but users running Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) or older Ubuntu versions will have to patch their Kernel or upgrade to Kernel 3.4.2 or later to get this to work. See http://answers.ros.org/question/9179/kinect-and-usb-30/ for more details.

Running freenect_stack over a VM

As mentioned in this thread #7, you need to forward all 3 devices (camera, motor, audio) to the VM for libfreenect to work properly.
